Retry on Failure

Retry on failure settings are used to determine whether the exporter should attempt to resend telemetry data that has failed to be transmitted to the destination endpoint. When this setting is enabled, the exporter will automatically retry failed transmissions at a configurable interval until the data is successfully transmitted. This helps to ensure that telemetry data is not lost due to temporary network connectivity issues or server outages.
